Firs on Tree

Green and Blue Colorways for Elegant Holiday Tree

Original Colorway

To teach this piece at the recent EGA South Central Region (SCR) meeting in Dallas, I selected two additional colorways.  They both use the original Kreinik #12 202HL.  

They are:

Blue:     Watercolours 160 Night Sky, Neon Rays 106, and Impressions 7072.  
Green:  Watercolours 065 Emerald, Neon Rays 30 or 31, and Impressions 5142.

Additional suggestions:

1.  Use gold beads instead of Kreinik (except the trunk and star).   

2.  Stitch it in blue or green, but instead of gold Kreinik use a blue or green metallic, or complementary beads.

3.  Attach a gold star instead of stitching one.

4.  Stitch it with silver metallic on silver flecked canvas.

5.  Experiment with other Watercolours and threads.  This is a Carole Lake basic method that I really love - pick a Watercolours and a metallic, and go from there.

The tree is a universal symbol and the possibilities are endless.  

I appreciate everyone's interest in this design.
